Eco Green Living 0.5L Compostable Zip Lock Bags are compact and perfectly sized for dips, chopped herbs, portioned snacks, and small food items, with a secure, BPA-free zip-lock seal that fits easily into lunchboxes, pockets, and travel bags. Made from PBAT, corn starch, and PLA, they deliver the same reliable performance as conventional zip-lock bags. The bag material is certified compostable for both home and industrial composting; the zip closure itself is certified for industrial composting only, so it should be removed before home composting, while the whole bag including the zip can go straight into industrial composting without cutting. Certified to EN13432 by TÜV Austria and DIN Certco, plus the Australian AS4736 industrial standard, packaged in recyclable cardboard.

Let customers speak for us
from 181 reviews
I hate my kitchen drawer, full of plastic and I don’t like it. Your range has given me simple swaps that work, feel great and I believe are sustainable- thank you!
Excellent quality, generous size. No problems
Excellent quickly. Much better than the supermarkets one and great value
These sheets have a lovely smell and are good at washing my clothes. They take up minimal space and there is no plastic going in the bin. Win Win!
Good quality, light and eco friendly airfryer liners.
Happy customer...
We wanted to reduce our use of plastic, these compostable bin liners were a positive step. They are easy to use, stand up to general use without leaking or cutting.
Dishwasher sheets, what a revaluation, the work amazing and no plastic
Have bought these compostable 10litre bags before and will buy again. Very reliable company and strong product. Good to support a small family enterprise.
These bamboo kitchen towels are absolutely amazing. I was a bit doubtful at first whether they would work (and would actually be reusable), but they are just perfect. They soak up any spillage really well, and easily wipe any kitchen surface dry. They are basically like a cloth, but lighter and easier to handle. I use them for most of my cleaning now.
To wash them, I just put them in the washing machine alongside my normal laundry. I bought a pack several months ago, and they are still going strong, with no sign of needing any replacement. This has saved me so much money, as I haven't had to buy any normal kitchen towels any more (which afterwards just go to waste).
Great range or products and value for money. I particularly like the freezer bags and parchment paper. Will definitely bully again.
EcoGreenLiving make the transition to a more sustainable way of housekeeping much easier with their wide range of options.
The cling wrap is incredible, saves me a mental breakdown each time!!
Each segment is what seems to be made like sheets so there’s no way of loosing where you are as it tears in a straight line. Saves me the time of fiddling around trying to find the edge. Which normally means I’m having to get a knife out and fight myself back into the cling wrap.
Trying out a few products to see if the simple swaps are worth while. Making sure the quality is there which oh my goodness is! I couldn’t think of now buying bin liners, foil and cling wrap.
I’m excited to try the other products they have in the online store as the quality, the ethos and being eco friendly is a massive hit for our household.
When I first saw Eco Green living products, I thought amazing there’s some products out there that are eco friendly for some of the worst products you can have that will affect the eco system. But I was worried about the quality of the product because of it being eco friendly .. but was I wrong! Yes I was.
You know the standard bin bags you have that are thin, flimsy and break as soon as you put anything in them. Lifting them out and there’s holes in which tend to spill bin juices everywhere before taking them outside.
Well these are just incredible!
They have some sort of stretch to the product. Perfect for holding all the items you tend to put in the bin together.
I would love to see the product in different colours in the future but for now, I’m so happy with my bright green eco friendly waste bags.
I also must add that these waste bags are higher quality
Joseph Joseph bags.
A must buy!
I’m still trying the first lot out, but so far, I’m pleased. The laundry sheets work well and bin bags are strong.. . Hope the rest of the items are as good
Just what I wanted, very sturdy , delivered very fast, so happy with my purchase and will definitely be buying again and I also have told friends and family about them
The Conventional vs. The Conscious Swap
A factual look at how our alternatives compare to standard household products.
Feature
Conventional Brands
How long do your products take to break down?
Breakdown times depend on the environment. In a standard home garden compost heap, our bags typically degrade within 6–12 months. In industrial composting facilities where heat is controlled, they are designed to disintegrate completely within 12 weeks. Our materials are also certified to return to nature within 2 years in marine environments without leaving harmful residues.
What is the difference between "Biodegradable" and "Compostable"?
"Biodegradable" is a broad term that lacks a specific timeframe and can leave behind micro-residues. "Compostable" (specifically our TÜV OK Compost Home certification) is a strict standard. It verifies that our products will break down into non-toxic CO2, water, and minerals within a set period, ensuring the resulting soil is safe for growing plants.
Is the corn starch used in your bags GMO-free?
Yes, transparency is our priority. All plant-based starches used in our certified compostable bags are 100% GMO-free. Furthermore, our compostable cling wrap is formulated without any corn starch at all, instead utilizing a specialized plant-based blend for superior stretch and performance to serve as a high-quality alternative to conventional plastic.
Are your delivery methods and packaging sustainable?
Every order is shipped in either plant-based compostable bags or recyclable cardboard boxes secured with Kraft paper tape. Through our partnership with Cotswold Fayre, we provide carbon neutral delivery as standard on every shipment. This ensures your essentials reach you via logistics partners dedicated to minimizing their environmental footprint.
